it’s really a no-win situation. if biden had stayed in and trump won, the blame would also have fallen at the feet of the democrats who didn’t intervene.

at least now, we have a fighting chance.

she may have no calculus but winning, but she also has feelings. and i do not doubt for a second that this was, will always be a painful decision.

what’s at stake is just so much larger than one person’s feelings. and, as you noted, he is already acknowledging that reality.

i, too, hope their relationship recovers.

RFK Jr. knows his campaign is DOA, so now he's trying to leverage his base for a job.  If Team Kamala turns him down, I've no doubt he'll go to Team Trump next.  That man has turned out to be a HUGE disappointment, and that's saying something for a Kennedy, lol.

I only hope he stays in because he tends to take more votes away from Trump than Harris.

Also, CNN noted that he's already made the same offer to Trump.

I saw that his son Conner just got engaged, and my first thought was that I'm certain Taylor Swift is grateful that she dodged that bullet and is no longer associated with that family.

Finally, I don't know why anyone pays attention to a Colorado congress person who got less than 35,000 votes, but Lauren Boebert said today that VP Harris is the least educated presidential candidate in history.  Mind you, the Vice President has a JD from UCSF, and Boebert didn't obtain a GED until 2020.

Sounds a bit dog-whistle-y, insinuating her education doesn't count.

Trump has only a Bachelors of Science (Wharton; not even an MBA). Biden also has a JD (Syracuse). Truman took some bookkeeping and typing courses at college but did not finish. That's not even thinking about Republicans' what-have-you-done-for-me-lately self-educated hero hero Lincoln.

Not even a subtle whistle, but nobody ever assumed Boebert was either demure or intellectual.

    • Full statement from city of Glendale https://www.glendaleca.gov/Home/Components/News/News/9293/16
    • Has anyone ever totted up how many women on GL slept with both father and son(s)? Reva gets a lot of crap for it but she's far from the only one: Claire Beth Blake Olivia Dina Did I miss anyone?  Also, did Reva ever sleep with Phillip? They always had some "closeness" thing, but I don't know if they ever actually did the deed. If they did, then Reva's the clear winner, with TWO families covered, lol!  
    • I think Long was probably planning to have Claire suffer from Post Partum, but she left the writing staff shortly after Claire had Michelle so that element didn't get explored. And I always assumed that when Claire returned in the late 90s/early 00s.. that she was realizing that she messed up by not staying a part of Michelle's life and became resentful/bitter over her previous choices.  That was my theory.  
    • Jenn was a huge part of the success of Days back in the day, and that contribution shouldn't be dismissed.  With that said, I do think her and Jack's time on the show should remain as occasional visits/drop ins. When Missy returns to play Jenn, Jenn is back to being Jenn.   Jenn in her glory days was head strong, fiesty, and was a live wire.... and her scenes with Jack on Friday was classic Jenn with Jack being the voice of reason.   It was the foundation of their relationship back in the day.    
    • Claire was always tightly wound, I think what Long was going to do is to throw the three into this impossible situation with no bad guys, Mo, knowing how to take care of kids from growing up but unable to conceive and Claire, who didnt know how to take care of kids and was totally focused on her career, gets knocked up.  Ryder took Claire off the deep end as a convenient way to make story for characters he wasnt interested in (though Pratt blames McTavish) with little effort. It was later explained to be a brain tumor (though why was she a bitch again when she returned?) \ Claire did sleep with Rick, she was his first!
    • I'm sorry, truly I am, but this literally made me LOL. Tempting fate, much?

    • Oh, I have very little doubt that Missy feels some way personally and privately.  Donna was just saying she actively spoke out against Days in public in reference to the gay storylines, which she did not. I don't have super strong feeling about Jen one way or another.  She was always a side character to me.  I still think Missy is Jen regardless of her stupid beliefs.
    • I hated the swap-over; Clayton Norcross, to me, was far superior in the role of Thorne than Jeff Trachta ever was. And the recast left me disliking Thorne when he was the superior son to me. As for Teri Ann Linn, I feel like she got the raw deal. Kristen was very clear as a forefronting character, especially in her rivalry with Stephanie, and it feels like she was dropped off for Felicia, and they never returned it. Not to mention the subpar recast with Tracy Melchior in 2001. Someone like Brenda Epperson (ex-Ashley, Y&R) would've been more suited for that role.
    • I just remember when Leo was marrying Craig (?), Greg Rikaart stated a line and made direct eye-contact with Melissa Reeves, and when the camera cut to her, she looked away.

       Rikaart had a mission that day, and he succeeded.
    • I need to go and find less.
